Sent to Coventry!

Posted on in Company News

 

Our recent visit to JLR Classic Works Division at Ryton, Coventry was a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours lapping up the best of British Motor Hertitage and also an understanding of their reborn programme.  A full rebuilt Series 1 Land Rover or Jaguar E type, or perhaps the “new” Defender V8 70th Anniversary model, can be painstakingly re-built here maintaining originality and the unique characteristics of any one vehicle.  A potential buyer of the new or old JLR product has the opportunity to feast their eyes on a unique history, heritage and timeline of the brand.  An inspirational and motivational moment, well worth the trip.  Well done JLR for their investment in the past as well as the future.

 

A look back at where it all began.

January 1999

Nineteen years ago, the Euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency on 1 January 1999. The same day Southgate Consulting was born with a draft business plan, a loan, a telephone, no website, no staff and an outline plan to improve recruitment advertising for the automotive industry in the UK. Occupying the same location that we do today in Ardington, Oxfordshire we would like to offer a massive “thank you” to all those that helped make the business work initially and subsequently, and unequivocally working within the Automotive Sector has been a pleasure and an honour. We are looking forward to the next nineteen years and whatever changes the industry has to contend with!

Signing off with our original 1999 logo.

Merry Christmas from all of us at Southgate Consulting!

After a few months in the making, Southgate Consulting is delighted announce the launch of its new website and accompanying blog / news section!

About the website

We hope you like the fresh new look of the website as much as we do – particularly as it was designed to reflect our professional, passionate and honest approach to Automotive Recruitment Services.

Although we have a brand new website, we have not lost the principles which make us one of the most reliable and sought-after Automotive recruiters in the country. Our experienced team is still dedicated to providing the same personal recruitment and career advice to our clients and candidates throughout the Automotive Industry.

We wanted a new website design to represent the evolution of Southgate Consulting and to maximise the user experience by making it particularly easy to navigate. This will allow you to fulfil your Automotive Recruitment needs wherever you are, as the new site is compatible with all smart phones and tablets.

Feel free to explore the site, maybe bookmark it, and perhaps even let us know what you think of our redesign!

About the blog

Going forward, we will be using this blog to give your our thoughts on industry trends throughout the Automotive sector. We will also be updating it with any relevant news; providing jobseeker tips/hints; and keeping you updated with everything happening at Southgate Consulting itself.

We hope to be updating the blog regularly, so do keep checking back for our next update – we look forward to sharing it with you!
